For Organizations

Equity Audit

Every workplace has unspoken truths to be revealed. Our goal is to examine the structure and culture of your organization to identify any areas of oppression.

We outline strategies based on your policies, procedures, and management practices to transform your workplace culture into one geared toward equity and inclusion. Yes, it’s big. But you’re ready.

Speaking

Justice cannot wait.

We’ve got to take action to create change, and that’s what our speaking does—it incites action from your team.

Introduce your team to the frameworks, examples, stories, and fresh perspective that this work needs to be done. Now.
